Lord, have mercy - Michael W Smith & Amy Grant

Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken
Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim
With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief
Renew the fire again

Chorus
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy 
Lord have mercy on me
Repeat

I have built an altar where I worship things of men
I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You
Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions
Help me love You again

Repeat Chorus

I have longed to know You and Your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence
Your grace forever shining
Like a beacon in the night

Amy Grant - Overnight (with lyrics)

Amy Grant Performs "Unafraid" Live

Woke up this morning

with you in our bed

going over and over

everything you said

Who talk you how to speak

the words that you say

I've always wanted to

be talked to that way

Love has made

has made you unafraid

Watching my children

finding their way

thru struggles and triumphs

and heartbreak

I hope the roads they take

Are making them strong

I'll still be on my knees

Long after they're gone

Love has made

Love has made

Love has made

Has made me unafraid

My lovely mother

Is getting on in years

And the way her body's aging

brings her girls to tears

The way she trembles with

each effort she makes

She just says Heaven's

getting closer each day

Love has made

Love has made

Love has made

Has made her unafraid

Love could make

Love can make

Love will make

Make you unafraid...

Amy Grant - Walking In The Light

The sun woke me up real early,

It's a beautiful morn

'Cause I'm goin' down to the river

To be reborn

Now me and Jesus did some heavy

Talkin' last night

So I'm going down to be dipped and

Come up walkin' in the light

So I'm going down to the river

Real early this morn

Jesus said, through Him we can

Be reborn

And oh the joy that's come

Inside me

Laughter fills my night and

Fills my day

With a song of love to guide me

And the happy words you send my way

Life with you has made me feel

The miracle of makin' melodies

Just a simple wonder when you're walkin' in the light

Better than a Hallelujah (lyrics) Amy Grant

God loves a lulluby

In a mother's tears in the dead of night

Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves the drunkard's cry

The soldier's plea not to let him die

Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful, the mess we are

The honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

The woman holding on for life

The dying man giving up the fight

Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

The tears of shame for what's been done

The silence when the words won't come

Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful the mess we are

The honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a church bell ringing

Better than a choir singing out, singing out

We pour out out miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful, the mess we are

The honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

We pour out our miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful, the mess we are

The honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)

Better than a Hallelujah

(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)

Nichole Nordeman & Amy Grant: "I'm With You" - Official Lyric Video

Love is a hurricane in a blue sky,

I didn't see it coming, never knew why,

All the laughter and the dreams, all the memories in between, washed away in a steady stream.

Love is a hunger, A famine in your soul.

I thought I planted beauty, but it would never grow.

Now I'm on my hands and knees, trying to gather up my dreams, trying to hold on to anything.

We could shake our fists in times like this when we don't understand or we could just hold hands.

(Chorus)

You and me , Me and you, Where you go I'll go too, I'm with you, I'm with you,.

Till your heart finds a home, I won't let you feel alone, I'm with you , I'm with you, with you.

You do your best to build a higher wall.

To keep love safe from every wrecking ball.

When the dust is cleared we will see the house that love rebuilt, guarding beauty that lives here still.

(Chorus)

It's you and me , Me and you, Where you go I'll go too, I'm with you ,I'm with you.

Till your heart finds a home, I won't let you feel alone, I'm with you, I'm with you.

Who can say I'm left with nothing?

When I have all of you, all of you, yeah.

In the way you've always loved me.

I remember. He does too.

(Chorus)

It's you and me, Me and you, Where you go I'll go too, I'm with you, I'm with you.

Till your heart finds a home, I won't let you feel alone, I'm with you, I'm with you.

Me and you are gonna make it through me and you.

I'm with you, I'm with you, with you.

Breath of Heaven - Amy Grant / Lyrics (Mary's Song)

El SHADDAI Amy Grant (Live)

El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai [means "God Almighty, God Almighty"]
El-Elyon na Adonai [means "God in the highest, Oh, Lord"]
Age to age, You're still the same
By the power of the name.
El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai
Erkamka na Adonai [means "We will love You, Oh, Lord"]
We will praise and lift You high
El-Shaddai

Through Your love
And through the ram,
You saved the son
Of Abraham.
Through the power
Of Your hand,
Turned the sea
Into dry land.
To the outcast
On her knees,
You were the God
Who really sees.
And by Your might,
You set Your children free.

[Chorus]

Through the years,
You made it clear,
That the time of Christ
Was near,
Though the people
Couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be.
Though Your Word
Contained the plan,
They just could not understand,
Your most awesome work was done
Though the frailty of Your son.

Hard Times - Amy Grant

Verse 1:

I smile when I remember

All the things we did

The worlds we discovered when I was a kid

Sitting on your shoulders

I was riding high

All of life before me

I could see for miles

You gave me a life to love

And showed me the dreams I was dreaming of

Told me love was enough

Chorus:

When hard times come

Hard times come

Hard times come for everyone

Hard times come

Hard times come

And they'll come till we're done

Verse 2:

Lately I've been standing

On my own two feet

There's a pair of watchful eyes

Staring up at me

I will turn them toward the sunrise

Turn them toward the stars

Where the beauty of a new day will always fill the heart

And give you a life to love

And show you the dreams you're dreaming of

Just let love be enough

Repeat chorus

Bridge:

How can you measure what you're made of?

How can you galvanize the love?

Cuz hard times come

They come

Hard times come to everyone

Hard times come

Hard times come

And they'll come till we're done

Alvin Slaughter - He Loved Me To The End

I won't give up, He loved me to the end.
I will press on, He loved me to the end.
I set my mind on things above, He loved me to the end.
And so will I love Him, I have to give Him everything.
Be faithful unto death. Oh, He loved me to the end (3x)

To be with Him in paradise, He loved me to the end.
I'll be clothed in a robe of white, He loved me to the end.
I'll cast my crown at the feet of Christ, He loved me to the end.
And so will I love Him, I have to give Him everything.
Be faithful unto death. Oh, He loved me to the end (3x)

We have overcome (3x)
by His blood (4x)
Oh, He loved me to the end (4x)

And, we have overcome (3x)
by His blood (2x)
And, we have overcome (3x)
by His blood (10x)

Oh, He loved me to the end!

Oh, The Glory of Your Presence - Alvin Slaughter

Oh the glory of Your Presence
We, Your Temple give you reverence
Come and rise from Your Rest
And be blessed by our praise
As we glory in Your Embrace
As Your Presence now fills this place

Alvin Slaughter - Launch Out

Sometimes we hold on a little longer than we should

Letting go can be hard but it's sometimes for our good

The fear of what's ahead sometimes makes us fall behind

We can see the times are changing but pretend that we're so blind

You'll never really know just what the future holds

But we know God holds us in His hand

So by faith we must climb into the boat

And follow His command

Launch out into the deep

Let your faith take you somewhere

That you've never been before

Launch out into the deep

Let your faith make you fly

Let your faith make you soar

Launch out launch out into the deep

It's time to wake up and make our dreams come true

Time is always moving and it will not wait for you

The fear inside your mind can quench the fire in your heart

Sometimes where you end is where God wants to start

It's never easy when you're walking out by faith

Everything seems so different and new

But if we only learn to see with eyes of faith

We would see life in a different view

Launch out into the deep

Let your faith take you somewhere

That you've never been before

Launch out into the deep

Let your faith make you fly

Let your faith make you soar

Launch out launch out

So much for you awaiting

So stop procrastinating

Close your eyes just take a leap

Alvin Slaughter - Sacrifice of Praise

Lord I lift a song of worship

For Your glory and Your grace

Let my heart reveal all my words fail to say

Lord receive this sacrifice of praise

(repeat)

On the mountain in the valley

As I wait in my secret place

I will trust trust in the name of the Lord

Now receive this sacrifice of praise

Now receive this sacrifice of praise

You're my shield You're my shelter

From the storm and from the rain

Cover me beneath the shadow of Your wings

Lord receive this sacrifice of praise

Hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah to Your name

For all You've done

You are and evermore will be

Lord receive this sacrifice of praise

Lord receive this sacrifice of praise

Lord receive this sacrifice of praise

Alvin Slaughter - Love Lifted Me

I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more,
But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.

Refrain:
Love lifted me!
Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!

All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him I’ll cling,
In His blessed presence live, ever His praises sing,
Love so mighty and so true, merits my soul’s best songs,
Faithful, loving service, too, to Him belongs.

Souls in danger, look above, Jesus completely saves,
He will lift you by His love, out of the angry waves.
He’s the Master of the sea, billows His will obey,
He your Savior wants to be, be saved today.

Alvin Slaughter - He's Already Provided

He's already provided

He's already provided

Everything you need

He's already provided

Every promise you can claim

Just ask it in His name

Everything you need

He's already provided

Everything you need

Everything you need

Everything you need

He's already provided

He's already provided

Alvin Slaughter - Wave of My Anointing

I'm sending a wave of my anointing,

Sending a wave of my glory,

Sending a fresh wind,

Sending a move.

Chorus:

Sending a wave of my anointing,

Sending a wave of my glory,

Sending a fresh wind,

Sending a move.

Verse:

I'm coming to shape this generation,

I'm coming to tear down the walls.

I'm coming to set the captives free,

I'm coming to bring liberty.

Coming to heal the brokenhearted,

I'm coming to take away their sins.

I'm coming to bring restoration

By the power of my name,

Everybody sing...

Vamp 1:

Come like you wanna come,

And do what you wanna do,

Move like you wanna move,

We're open up to you.

Alvin Slaughter - Hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

From the rising of the sun

To the going down of the same

Lord Your name is to be praised

Lord we praise You praise You

For the many good things

You have done for us

Lord Your name is to be praised

He alone is worthy - Alvin Slaughter

Who'd be found worthy
In the heavens or the earth
To pay the debt of sin for everyone
Who could win the victory 
Over death hell and the grave
It's the Lion from the Tribe of Judah
Jesus Christ the Son

Chorus
He Alone Is Worthy
To worship and adore
The Lamb of God
Victorious 
My risen Lord
He purchased our redemption 
Our righteousness is He
Exalt the name of Jesus
He is worthy

I Will Run To You - Alvin Slaughter.

Your eye is on the sparrow
And Your hand, it comforts me
From the ends of the Earth to the depth of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen

You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
As Your love and grace demand

And I will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the spirit of God
Yes I will run the race
'Till I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace

Peace in the Midst of the Storm- Alvin Slaughter

When the world I've been
Living in crumbles at my feet
When my life is all tattered, tattered and torn
I've been wind-swept, I've been battered
But I'll cling to the cross
He gives me peace in the midst of the storm

CHORUS

He'll give you peace in the midst of the storm
He's my Anchor, my rock I can build my faith upon
Jesus Christ, He is my refuge, In Him I confide
He gives me peace in the midst of the storm

In my twenty-four short hours
Years of living are brought to moments
When life's final picture is taking form
In the dark-room of my suffering
I see a light that's coming and it's shining through
(You know what)
He gives me peace in the midst of the storm

Now when my spirit has been broken
Till it's masked by misery
When the doctor shakes his head and look forlorn
(You know what?)
Jesus comes to make my bedside
A cathedral of faith and love
He'll give you peace in the midst of the storm

There is peace in the midst of the storm-tossed life
There is an Anchor, there's a rock to build my faith upon
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
Jesus Christ is my vessel so I fear no alarm
Won't God give you peace in the midst of the storm?
He'll give you peace in the midst of the storm

Alvin Slaughter - This I Know & I Have Decided to Follow Jesus Medley

To worship You O Lord is what I live for

I remember Your great mercy and Your love

I will trust in You for strength when I am weary

And I will serve You with my whole heart this I know

If You need someone to be Your hand extended

Where You lead me Lord I promise I will go

For You've created me to be Your sanctuary

I will serve You with my whole heart this I know

This I know

This I know

I will serve You with my whole heart this I know

Though we tell You with our lips how much we love You

Yet it seems the love of many have grown cold

I refuse to offer what has cost me nothing

I will serve You with my whole heart this I know

I cried tears of joy when I first held my baby

Tears of sorrow when my mother was called home

But like a soldier I am marching up to Zion

Where I'll cry tears of jubilation around God's throne

May the Spirit fill your heart with joy and gladness

May the glory of His presence fill your soul

When the trumpet sounds rise up He calls you onward

Where God's light will shine forever this I know

So when the twists and turns of life cause you to wonder

Let your faith remind you God is in control

Just stand your ground and know that God our great Jehovah

Is your provider and strong tower this I know

No turning back

There's no turning back

I have decided to follow Jesus

I have decided to follow Jesus

I have decided to follow my Jesus

No turning back

I won't turn back

Will You Be The One (World Day of Prayer)

In a world full of broken dreams

Where the truth is hard to find

For every promise that is kept

There are many left behind

Though it seems that nobody cares

It still matters what you do

Cause there's a difference you can make

But the choice is up to you

Chorus

Will you be the one

To answer to His call

Will you stand

When those around you fall

To take His light

Into a darkened world

Tell me will you be the one

Oh sometimes it's so hard to know

Who is right and what is wrong

And where are you suppose to stand

When the battle lines are drawn

There's a voice that is calling out

For someone whose not afraid

To be a beakon in the night

To a world that's lost it's way

Chorus

There are still some battles

That I must fight from day to day

Yet the Lord provides the power

For me to stand and say

Yes, I'll be the one

To answer to His call

I will stand

When those around me fall

I will be the one

To take His light

Into a darkened world

I will be the one

Addison Road - What Do I Know Of Holy w/Lyrics

I made You promises a thousand times

I tried to hear from Heaven

But I talked the whole time

I think I made You too small

I never feared You at all No

If You touched my face would I know You?

Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)

What do I know of You

Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood

But the shore along Your ocean?

Are You fire? Are You fury?

Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?

What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out

I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about

How You were mighty to save

Those were only empty words on a page

Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be

The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)

What do I know of You

Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood

But the shore along Your ocean?

Are You fire? Are You fury?

Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?

What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)

What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?

And a God who gave life "its" name?

What do I know of Holy?

Of the One who the angels praise?

All creation knows Your name

On earth and heaven above

What do I know of this love?

(CHORUS)

What do I know of You

Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood

But the shore along Your ocean?

Are You fire? Are You fury?

Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?

What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?

Addison Road - "This little Light of Mine" with lyrics

There’s a little flame inside us all

Some shine bright, some shine small

The rains will come and the waters rise

But don’t you ever lose your light

In this life you will know

Love and pain, joy and sorrow

So when it hurts, when times get hard

Don’t forget whose child you are

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine

May you live each day with no regret

Make the most of every chance you get

Let your eyes get wide when you look at the stars

With the same sense of wonder as a child’s heart

With the ones you love treasure the time

And for those who are gone keep their memories alive

Hold on to your dreams don’t ever let go

There’s a fire inside you burning with hope

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine

There will be days when you want to give up

When the clouds settle in

But after the rain comes the sun

Don’t you ever forget

One day there will be no more pain

And we will finally see Jesus’ face

So until then I’m gonna to try

To brave the dark and let my little light shine

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine

There’s a little light inside us all

Adam Cappa "The Rescue" (Official Lyric Video)

Have you ever lost your way,

Getting by with no direction?

Living always so afraid,

Of the fear that fills your mind.

And you could go on and on and on like this,

But you’ll never find that peace exists.

You don’t have to be, you don’t have to be alone.

There’s a better way, it’s never to late to say,

Chorus-

I need You right now,

Here in this moment,

I’m losing ground,

Can’t keep going,

I’m calling out,

For You to rescue me.

Don’t want to drown right now,

Here in this ocean,

I’m so far down,

Can’t keep moving.

This time around,

I’m keeping my eyes on You.

You are the rescue,

You are the rescue.

Is it hard to find your words?

To say what you’ve been thinking?

Have you taken whats not yours?

Running by your desperation.

You could go on and on and on like this,

But you’ll never find a love like His.

You don’t have to be, you don’t have to be alone.

Oh.

Chorus

Bridge-

Woah. Woah. I need you, I need you.

Woah. Woah. My rescued, my rescued.

And I need you right now, here in this moment,

I’m losing ground,

Can’t keep going,

I’m calling out,

For You to rescue me.

Don’t want to drown right now, here in this ocean,

I’m so far down,

Can’t keep moving.

This time around,

I’m keeping my eyes on you, you, you.

Criminal On the Cross [Live]

"Deliverance" by Abigail Miller

The enemy had smitten me; I fell down to the ground.

He told me I could not be free, He planned to keep me down.

I felt the heavy burden of my guilt, the weight of shame.

I cried out in despair; I only had myself to blame.

Chorus: (But) In His mercy He came, and He lifted me from shame.

He wrought a great deliverance, through the power of His name.

And my defeated foe had to turn and let me go,

Because the power of Christ rests on me.

O, brother, are you sinking down in unbelief and sin,

And Satan has been telling you that he will always win?

Rise up in faith, remembering your victory in Christ,

He paid the price so we could walk in new, abundant life!

(Chorus) Oh, if only we realized the power of our Lord.

If we could only trust His promises, believing every word.

He’s so much greater than we know, so much greater than we see.

Rise up in faith and claim your victory!

(Chorus) Your defeated foe will have to turn and let you go

When the power of Christ sets you free.

Closer to Jesus

The crowd is pressing, thronging Him,

He seems so far away.

I wonder if I'll ever have the strength to make my way.

In desperation, I push through, I must, I must succeed,

In touching One who has the pow'r to meet my every need.

Chorus: Closer to Jesus, that's where I long to be.

I long to have the hem of His garment just within my reach.

If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me,

I want to be…closer to Jesus.

I've touched Him, now I know His pow'r

Is more than I could see.

So suddenly, the sin and guilt is gone, and I am free.

He turns to me, and oh, the great compassion in His voice,

Thy faith hath made thee whole, He says,

And now I can rejoice! (Let me be)

Chorus

If I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me,

I want to be…closer to Jesus

I want to be…closer to Jesus

Aaron Shust - "Come To Me"

Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened

And I will give you rest

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me

For I am gentle and humble in heart

For My yoke is easy

And My burden is light

Aaron Shust - Glory to You ( Lyrics )

Great God of might, great God of wonders

giver of life, giver of grace

creator of everything before us

you had me in mind before the stars were in place

Your love surpasses all by far

We're praising You for all you are

The reason we're here and the reason we sing

is to thank you oh god and give praise to the king

we lift up our hands and we lift up our eyes and sing

you are holy

The reason we're here and the reason we sing

is to thank you oh god and give praise to the king

we lift up our hands and we lift up our minds

and we pray that all we do would bring glory to you

Father of love. Father of mercy

what have I done that you would think about me?

you've taken my shame, you've taken my sorrow

replaced them with life and life abundantly

you can see inside my heart

you can see inside my mind

So strip away the things

that leave me deaf and blind

Aaron Shust- Give It All Away

Search my heart, search my mind

Search my soul

Make me clean, make me new

Make me whole

All of my plans, all of my dreams

I lay them down before Your feet

All of my time, all that was mine

I now, submit to Your design

'Cause You are the one and only one

Who dared to give it all away for me

You dared to give it all away for me

You are my strength, You are my God

You are my King

You make me laugh, You make me dance

You make me sing

All of my plans, all of my dreams

I lay them down before Your feet

All of my time, all that was mine

I now, submit to Your design

'Cause You are the one and only one

Who dared to give it all away for me

You dared to give it all away for me

Everything inside, everything outside

I give it all away

You never change but You rearrange

My heart more everyday

All of my plans, all of my dreams

I lay them down before Your feet

All of my time, all that was mine

I now, submit to Your design

All of my plans, all of my dreams

I lay them down before Your feet

All of my time, all that was mine

I now, submit to Your design

'Cause You are the one

Who can make my life complete

You are the one

Who can give light to my feet

You are the one and only one

Who dared to give it all away for me

You dared to give it all away for me

You dared to give it all away

You gave it all away for me

You gave it all away for me

Search my heart, search my mind

Search my soul

Aaron Shust - Come and Save us

The edge of a cliff, the dead end signs

That we've been ignoring all this time

All our mistakes and crossing lines

That sinking feeling that's not far behind
 

We're less than more

 

We're falling short

No matter how we try 

There's nothing we can do

 

Nothing we can do

Father, we need You

To come and save us

If we could see behind the veil

 

Just a glimpse of how

You love us when we fail

Maybe we would finally see

Your mercy never ends

There's nothing we can do

 

Nothing we can do

Father, we need You

To come and save us

 

There's nothing we can do

 

Nothing we can do

Father, we need You

To come and save us

It's all been done

 

It's all been done

You have come

All for love

There's nothing we can do

 

Nothing we can do

Father, we need You

To come and save us

Father, we need You
